RaNtinG...

Its been quite a number of days since i last blogged.

Its the Semester-Break. Its Holiday! Yet I am more busy than ever... I can't remember when was the last time I saw my textbooks. And the rate that my bank account is depleting is alarming. But well, in about a week's time, all the fun is gonna be over. And I shall dutifully return to the wretched world of calculus. So hack... Just let me enjoy the moment before the craze sets in again. Haha.

Christmas is so over by now. While we may still see alot of Christmas decorations in commercial areas, but all the excitement and fuss about it seems long gone.

Then here comes New Year 2007. People seems to enjoy indulging in all sorts of festive celebrations, don't they? Year after year, the endless cycle repeats, and the enthusiasm is somehow re-newed miraculously. Maybe life is just too boring for us? Or maybe sometimes we just need a reason to be ridiculously happy and hopefully, generous. But what appears to me is, year after year, I'm simply repeatedly reminded of my aged soul and my vanishing youth. *BIG Frowns*

Damn. Can someone please remind me what calls for these celebrations again?

MeRRy ChRiStmaS!!!

Its Christmas Eve!! Merry Christmas, everyone!!!

Last year this time, I was on board "distributing" my Christmas Well Wishes to passengers. How time flies... I am so missing year 2006. Just when I've gotten used to writing dates of "2006", 2007 is set to change that habit. Year after year, again and again.

I've been going out quite alot lately, got drunk twice and accumulated quite alot of cabby fares. I always babble lots of nonsense when I get drunk (This is probably the best time to interrogate me, haha!), much to the dismay of my dear friends. So, no more of that... Well, at least not again before the year ends. Hehe.

My body feels quite tired, and being out so often is a taboo to my dieting efforts. Yes, I gain weight again. So today I will just be a good girl, stay home and recuperate. If there's anything I hate about Christmas Eve, I would say its the crowds on the streets. Had a very bad experience in Orchard couple of years ago. Anyway, I'm way past the age of cheering for festive countdowns. And I shall not put myself in the pathetic situation of a cab-less night. Some mistakes I'd only make twice.

Some things have changed recently. While I am still uncertain of what I want, I am pretty sure of what I DON'T want. I see that as an improvement in my state of confusion. I can have a constant battle on myself against LIKES, WANTS and MUST, but I guess at the end of the day RATIONAL just have to take over. Being Rational doesn't equates to Being Happy most of the time, but its always the most sensible way to lead life peacefully.

DINNER AT Fish & Co. WITH POLYMATES

Its really lovely to be among my well-missed friends again! A HILARIOUS night! Besides taking so much photos that we pissed the people at the next table off, we even started ranking ourselves in terms of hardDisk memory space, based on our level of blurness:

Brother-1GB, Fen-512MB, Yv-256MB, Jac-64MB, Me-32MB (Sob...), Claire-1.44MB (Hahaha!!)

At one point during the dinner they thought that I didn't seem as dim-witted as Jac (obviously), so someone suggested that the both of us swop ranks -- Promote me & Demote Poor Jac! Haha... Of course Jac refused, she clinged on to her "64MB-Title" for dear life... Silly Jac, so contented with her 64MB of brain capacity. Nah... I think I'm at least ranked above 128MB, why would I want ur "Only-64MB-Title", Silly Goose! Bleh...! Hahaha!!!

Claire's lack of "brain activity" during the dinner must have been the highlight of the night. Perhaps she was seated at a corner of the table, but her level of alertness and responsiveness in our conservations was sub-zero... Haha, she might as well have been seated at the next table!! That constant blur look on her face was priceless!

CHILL OUT WITH MY TIAN AND XIAN

These sweetHearts of mine showered me with loads of gifts!!! I love them so much!!! Hehe, but all I could offer them was boxes of eh... cookies.

X'maS BaKinG FLOP :O(

I made cookies for X'mas... It was a DISASTER. *Gasp* Those unlucky ones who will receive my horrible gift would know. My deepest regrets and may God bless them...

I guess I'm really not cut out for the kitchen after all... To think I had taken up Food & Nutrition during my secondary school years... What a waste of time and effort. And ironically, I had always been under the impression that I was MUCH better in baking than Oriental Cooking.

I followed the recipe step by step. I even had "professional" advice. I knew something wasn't right when the cookie mixture started to curd despite the busy churning of my noisy mixer. My worst fears were confirmed when the mix tasted saltish, NOT sweet. Something was definitely wrong

The first batch of "thing" that came out of the oven wasn't something that I can identify as cookies... It went into the oven like nice little even drops of cookie mix. Then before I know it, it had started to "melt" like ice-cream in the 190 degree celsius white box. What came out of the oven was a pathetic, shapeless, hardened puddle of light brown-ness. I think my "Baking-Adviser" would probably brand them SHIT -- they truely live up to the likeness of that.

I knew at that moment that baking is NOT and would NEVER be my forte. Damn.

I had better stick to just doing NOTHING.

Brown, Ugly little "Puddles"... My 3rd batch

胡思乱想

雨下了一整夜。

不知道是白天睡太多了，还是不断的雷声让心里感到很不安？
一整夜，脑子里像是不停的在打滚，一直没办法好好入眠。。。

思想都变得一段一段的。

如果无聊也可以当成是一种悠闲的话。。。
那现在的生活的确算是十分完美了。

这个白痴还在胡思乱想些什么啊？

莫名其妙

心情有一点郁闷。

坦白来讲的话，其实是心里有一点不爽。

奇怪。
我有没有在求学时期工作干你什么事啊。
我干吗要对你交待啊？

每个人都有自己的生活方式不是吗？
大家也有对选择生活能耐的自由不是吗？
那我打不打工干你什么事啊？

你是谁？你是我吗？
什么时候轮到你有资格在我的生活选择上比手画脚?

老娘得罪你啦？？！

真不想听到有下一个人又以我没在求学时期工作大作文章。
一定要你好看！

没。我没有在说你。。。

DiEtinG...

No matter what I eat... Or rather what I don't eat, my weight is just not bulging any lower than that 2.5KG. Talk about stubborn fats...

I'm so CRAVING for bread now... 15hours without food maybe a small feat for most people I guess... But Gosh, 15hours without food for a GLUTTON like me who always wakes up in the middle of the night to ransack the fridge for food? I'm gonna faint already.

Hang On... I can do this!!!

MoViE wiTh tHe GuYs :o)

Had a wonderful time watching ERAGON with my Uni-Guys yesterday! Hehe. ERAGON is a GREAT show!!!!!!

In the morning I was still lamenting to my poor self that I was to be the only girl in the outing. But I guess once in a while, it can really fun to be among the Mars species. Haha. Even though, half of the time I couldn't understand what their conversations were. So poor me had to make up for that lapse of boredom by taking loads and loads of pictures!

Alright... I didn't really start taking lotsa pictures because I was bored... Hehe. I just like taking loads of pictures, ok. Hahaha.

With the Guys after the movie

Yesterday was also Chris' birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

We shocked him with a small birthday cake in Mac after the movie. He was really surprised... Gee... A HORRIBLE kind of surprised. Haha. It was funny to see his face cramped up and started a frantic trance of shaking his head in embarrassment as his cake makes its grand appearance.

Ok, I do feel a little bad for giving him such a NASTY shock. But hey, come on, it wouldn't be long till we start celebrating birthdays with 3 large candles on our cakes, a birthday cake that holds 2 large candles now is gonna be a rare sight soon. So lets embrace the our birthdays while we're stil twenty-odd! I didn't even have a birthday cake or any birthday songs on my birthday for 2 years already OK. And I even had a nice present from NUS this year --- an EXAM PAPER! What the... Yes, I am still complainning... Poor me. Haha.

Okok, I shall stop ranting nonsense before u tempt to close this Explorer window. Here are the pics:

Birthday Boy & His CAKE

It was a tough Cake to cut. So everybody helped out to DEFORM the poor cake.

A share for everyone... Kai looks happy with his. Hehe.

Birthday Boy counting the almonds flakes that he dropped all around him. TSK TSK.

Hehe... Actually, I attempted to take a shot of him having his cake and almost made him choked.

TarDar!!! Another narcissistic picture of ME!!!!

EK gave me a ride again!!!! And my destination was very out of the way for everyone.

THANK YOU THANK YOU, EK!!!

A SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL CLAM!!!

My Pressie!!! Though my Birthday was quite a Long Long Ago... Nice!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!

My TaRoT CaRd

You are The Empress
Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

naRcisSiSm

I think I am dangerously infected with NARCISSISM...

Ok, lets admit this... Everyone's got a little narcissism in them. Just check this:

( ) U absolutely love posing for shots
( ) U totally dread candid shots
( ) If etiquette allows, U wouldn't hestitate to jump on any possible opportunity to QC those photos.
( ) The first person U'd look out for in a picture is U, urself and urself. Magnify it again.
( ) U probably wouldn't mind making everyone do a retake, if U look less than perfect in a picture.
( ) Any less than perfect shots are likely to go into the Recycle Bin. All evidence shredded and gone.
( ) If conscience allows... U probably wouldn't mind doing a little Photoshop over ur picture either.

Nope, I do not have any Photoshop software in my Lappie, but I probably would still have checked all of the above. I hope u DID too. Hehe. See... We are not so different, right? I seriously hope u are nodding ur head in agreement at this point. No???? Please... Nod ur head ok?

I guess its not difficult for anyone to realise that majority of the pictures here of ME were taken by ME. My friends had easily noticed how I love taking shots of myself. And they had effortlessly, also noticed that I can FOCUS the camera at myself, pretty "professionally". Sharks... This is not really a very "honorable" addiction to be sighted with. Should I feel embarrassed? Alright, YES... I am slightly embarrassed to be spotted with the narcissism in me ok... *BLUSHES*

Seriously, trust me, I sometimes do get nauseous of seeing my face repeatedly and repeatedly in pictures too. I do get very bored with printing my smile over and over again on my Nikon S5. I genuinely wish I wouldn't do that again. But I guess a narcissist is always quick to chuck that boredom aside, replacing it with a double shot of mint enthusiasms!

The narcissist in me says... An event means time for more pictures. An outing means time for more pictures. A bored afternoon means time for more pictures too. Blimey... What is life without a little click on my Nikon S5?

My God... What a shameless entry. *Slaps my BIG Head*

OUCH.

KTV wiTh Uni-MaTeS!!!

Had a GREAT KTV session with my Uni-Mates yesterday!!!

Boy, I never thought I would ever go back to the PartyWorld KTV at Orchard again... Not after the recent embarrassment I made out of myself, after getting terribly drunk there. I think that episode was really an eye-opener for my teamies who had never (I hope) seen such an idiotic side of me... My teamboy was still talking about it the last time we MSN-ed. Gosh... I don't even want to think about it manz!!!! Brrrr.... Blow it out of my mind!!!!

Yesterday was a really FUN night, I thought it ended too early though. More uni-mates joined than I initially thought! Lost my voice again on Thursday, so I was like croaking throughout the whole session. And I believed I was rather LOUD, so... Hehe. Poor beloved classmates... I imagined their ears went partially deaf with my totally out-of-tune screeching. But who cares, haha! I had FUN, and well... Not everyone are singers to start with, right? Hehe.

YK and my Class-Rep have great voices!!! Like SUPERB!!!! YK's voice is really versatile and powerful, while My Class-Rep sounds like a cross between Jacky Cheung & Andy Lau, I called him my Idol!!! He's a WOW!!! Haha! That's singing with depth to me, I don't mind paying just to hear them sing!! I wish I can upload their videos here, but gee... I'd rather not RISK my life! Anyway, I was recording with only a camera, so the recorded sounds doesn't do justices to their "melt-my-heart" singing at all.

So looking forward to a next session of KTV with this groupie again! :o)

LuNcH witH tEaMiEs!!

Had lunch with Kelly, bLing and her little Baby Justin today! bLing's treat! Thanks bLing!!!!

Handsome Little Baby Justin

Baby Justin is approaching his fifth month now, he's grown alot since the last time I saw him. He looks so much like his dad now. I simply love how his eyes seems to sparkle in curiosity!!

A pic with teamies and Baby Justin...

Looking forward to the next time that we can take another pic together!!

Oh, Baby and I took these pictures in town the other day... I find them pretty interesting, haha. Looks like we've got the sun and the moon behind us in these pictures. They are actually effects of christmas lightings.

This year's christmas deco is pretty ordinary... Nothing spectacular. When I was much younger, I used to get pretty fascinated by all the christmas decorations. But these couple of years, I am starting to find them pretty boring. It doesn't even feels dreamy anymore. Do u feel so too? Wonder have the seasons changed or have I changed?

Frankly, some of the props even looked old, and yellowish. I imagined they had been recycled from many years of christmas way before this, and as expected, they will be recycled for this coming New Year, the Chinese New Year following it, and the festivals of many coming years thereafter. Well, if they have been recycling the props, then I guess even the most creative designer would have limited creativity renewing the designs. One can never get the best out of both worlds huh.

Another Boring Christmas... Yawn.

LiFe iS gOoD :o)

Life is great when the exams are over!!

I have given myself a week of book-ban to clear my mind since last Friday, so I havn't been revising the lectures at all. Everyday is about shopping, slacking, and more shopping! That means everyday I am trying my best not to miss lectures too. Between shopping and going for lectures, u can imagine how hard my self-discipline is working to keep these two in balance.

I managed to create quite a substantial hole in Baby's wallet over the last 3 days... Hehe. Kind of feel bad about that. I am trying my best to control the Shopaholic Devil in me, but everytime I see something nice, my BUY BUY BUY instinct just completely overwrites the rational part of me...

Let me see... Baby got me a black girly gown, a pair of quarter-jeans, a tube and a really nice spaghetti-top, 3 dresses, a bag, and 3 pairs of heels... Hehe. Oh yah, not forgetting a cool set of Pen-Tablet and a microphone for my lappie, and a pair of earphone. Gosh, now that I listed it out, it does seems alot! Oh my... Now I really do feel very guilty for his wallet... Gee... BUT I am so looking forward to the next shopping trip! Hahaha!

Oh, here are some of the pictures I managed to sort from Val's wedding shots session and her wedding:

It was a pretty enriching experience being one of the sisters for the first time. Learnt plenty of what's-not for a wedding. Now I know having the perfect function and making everyone happy is not so easy, and definitely will take alot alot of effort. It takes much more than a just wedding planner and a schedule-sheet to determine the day. I guess more importanly, extremely-detailed planning and thorough communication would probably be the essentials determining the function to be a success or a flop. It must be so fun being a wedding planner!

But then again... I don't think I'd ever want to put myself through the hassle of getting wedded! I guess my willingness to commit will only extend to putting my signature on that piece of paper... Anything else will just be a huge headache. I don't even want to think about it... Gasp.

ExaMs' OveR, tiMe FoR sHoPPinG!!!

The exams are finally over... I feel like a prisoner with new-found freedom. I am at a lost of knowing where to go or what to do now. On the day of my last paper, I actually came home and studied more. I think I have got a spring loosen somewhere up in my head. I just cant believe everything is over!!

Nah, don't ask my about how I did in the papers, cos I am so NOT looking forward to seeing my results. All I hope for is not needing an extra semester to wrap this course up.

Baby will be bringing me shopping next week to buy all I want as a part-birthday-gift and a part-reward for all that hard work over the exams. I can buy all I want in a day, or TWO. Hehe. I want to BUY BUY BUY :O) *Wink* I am still thinking of the 100-Dresses that I want to collect. The other day, Smart Baby... eh... no... or rather I should say, Baby-who-thought-he-is-SMART, wanted to talk about my opinon on budgeting for next week's shopping trip, I sheepishly replied a four-figure-amount and he quickly dismissed his idea about me spending within a budget. I can imagine his face turn WHITE at the other end of the phone line. HAHAHA! But anyway, I wouldn't bear to lah. Hmm... or would I??? Hehe.

Oh, and my allowance had already started yesterday despite not seeing my results yet!! He is such a sweetheart, isn't he!! Perhaps, hopefully after all the shopping, my mind can really be detangled from all that exams stress.

I am still having lectures daily for approximately another 2 weeks. After which I will have about a month of freedom!!!! Even though I forsee my shopping and entertainment expenses shot up for the coming month, but YEAH!!! I want to meet up all my friends before the next semester starts in Jan, cos we won't be having any semester break in the next June. So I guess next Dec will be the only next time that I can be this available.

Friends, lets meet Up meet Up meet Up!!!!! *GRIN*

My blog looks kind of plain now... Have not been posting pictures up here or anywhere else for quite a while. Shall sort out and post some soon before I get blinded by such a wordy blog :o)
